Clare's Brian McNamara says Louth's greater ability to punish mistakes was the difference between the sides in their crucial knockout tie in the All Ireland Football Championship. The Leinster Champions inflicted a third defeat of the Sam Maguire series on Peter Keane's side, leaving them bottom of Group 3 and eliminated from the championship. Clare trailed by eight points at the break, before goals from Aaron Griffin and Rory McMahon helped bring the deficit to as little as two in the closing stages. The Cooraclare clubman says at the very least, they were focused on delivering a good performance to round off the year.

Clare boss Peter Keane has honoured the way his side 'died with their boots on' as they exited the All Ireland Senior Football Championship Clare's season was brought to an end by Louth, with the Leinster champions claiming their preliminary quarter spot with a 2-17 to 2-14 win. Having trailed by as many as nine following two quick fire Louth goals, Clare battled back with a pair of their own from Rory McMahon and Aaron Griffin but ultimately never got nearer than three points. Keane says he was proud of the way the team battled to the final whistle.

Clare's success at converting their opportunities for two-pointers has been tipped as the deciding factor for determining their fate in the All Ireland Senior Football Championship Peter Keane's side will be hoping to keep their season alive on Sunday afternoon when they face Louth in Laois Hire O'Moore Park in a winner takes all clash. Clare kicked four first half two-pointers against Monaghan in Clones, while hitting a further two in their game with Down in Round 1. Clare FM analyst Joe Garry says at least 25 points will be needed to secure a preliminary quarter final place.

It's claimed Clare need to prepared to withstand constant pressure and be wary of retribution in their do or die clash with Louth this weekend. The Banner round off their Sam Maguire group stage campaign on Sunday with a trip to Laois Hire O'Moore Park in Portlaoise to face the Leinster Champions, with the winners progressing to an All Ireland preliminary quarter final. Peter Keane's side delivered a strong performance in their Round 2 defeat to Monaghan in Clones, kicking 14 first half points including four two-pointers, while Cillian Brennan and Cillian Rouine are hoped to return to bolster the backline. Clare FM analyst Paudie Carmody says if the defence can hold firm, the firepower is there to punish Louth.

Clare boss Peter Keane says there's plenty of positives to take from his side's performance against Monaghan despite the result not going their way. A straight knockout game against Louth now awaits Clare in the final game after the hosts came from behind to condemn The Banner to a second defeat of the Sam Maguire series on a score of 1-25 to 1-16. A red hot first half saw Clare take a 14 points to seven lead into half time, with four two pointers registered in the opening period.

It's hoped the current 27 week average waiting time for a driving test in Clare will soon be significantly slashed. The Road Safety Authority has published a national action plan to reduce waiting lists that will see driving tests conducted in evenings, on weekends and even bank holidays. New centres will also be opened in Dublin, Kildare and Louth to ease the backlog, with the RSA setting the goal that no motorist will wait longer than 10 weeks for a test after September this year. Chris Curran from the Chris Curran Driving School in Ennis believes it could work.
